The inspiration for this knitalong is Pam Allen and Ann Budd's Lace Style, a new book about knitting lace with 21 inspired patterns from some of the country's most talented and inventive knitwear designers. Members of this KAL are encouraged to share their own creative versions of the patterns as well as their tips and suggestions for yarn substitions. We hope these patterns will give you new ways to think about knitting lace.

And yet, another Redo Redux Shrug

Well, I had to go and make another one. This time for me. I used Malabrigo 157 - Amoroso, 216 yds. I love this yarn. I used the same needle sizes and was able to knit the size 38 using less than 2 skeins. This is one of the softest wool yarns I have worked with to date. I'm waiting for my LYS to get the lace version in and of course, I will have to try it out. Anyway, Happy Knitting.
